Author Topic: How to get a first communion dress (Read 1953 times)

Hello all,
My oldest is going to be receiving her first holy communion this year and I was hoping to get some feedback on where to get a nice modest dress for her.
I've been searching around online and have found a few worth considering but I'm hoping for some more options. The few I found have sleeves that go to the mid bicep area and have a high neckline but I'm hoping for longer if not full sleeves.
I've come across many that have no sleeves and have small straps going over the shoulders. These of course are not in consideration.
Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Have you looked on etsy? There are many custom seemstresses on there. You may be able to find a dress that you like everything about except, for example, the sleeve length. You could talk to the seller and they might agree to make it to your specs.

I went with a sleeveless dress with a matching sweater for our girls.

ETA: Inspired by these pretty girls.

Congratulations on your daughter's First Communion. Such an important day!

A suggestion would be using a white "bolero" to cover her little arms. You may purchase it separately and use it on a sleeveless dress.
